The Best Mobile Phone Websites- No Smartphone Required
"Regular" Mobile Phones Want a Piece of the Pie
What?
No Iphone!
No Android!
No Blackberry!
You can still enjoy the mobile web with a "regular" non-smartphone.
This hub points to some of my favorite mobile websites. Most website images use Opera Mini 5.
Don't have Opera Mini?
All of these websites should work on native phone browsers as well.

is there any way to get movies saved on a non smartphone or a micro SD card that will play on the phone? I have a Samsung flight 2
Hi Dana. Is there a way to access my Outlook email on my LG rumor touch vm510? I don't care about calendars and contact lists and all that stuff - just want to be able to access my email and can't figure out how?! Thanks!
I downloaded bolt browser and it installed but said cant reform request when trying to use it. Any clue ?
My suggestion is Gune
You have offered a lot of information all in this one hub for those who might be interested. Technologically speaking, we are still crawling out of our caves after drawing some neat petroglyphs. Haha!
yeah Ive been coming to terms with that message thing..its alot gettin the phone to do what u want..but when your done,,its worth it..My games have been hit and miss but im addicted to the tower bloxx game on umnet.com,,they have some nice stuff,,most dont work for me,,but those that do--i am enjoying..Ive tried the you tube hub too,,but no luck...that site just isnt co-operating with my phone..
@CherokeeRyda, Thanks for the feedback!
Flash Player=There is no flash player. Phones are sort of the last Flash frontier, per se.
Message Tones: Really good question! It looks like the answer is no. You can have different rings per contact, but it does not let you assign separate message tones. You only get one default message tone, unfortunately.
Hey Dana,,i wanted to thank u for all your help..I love this phone now,thanks 2 you..but i do have a question...Is there a way to update the flash player in this phone..One more,,can you have a message tone for each contact like other phones? I dont know how you do it--but I am greatful...thx Dana...
@Tania, I have not figured out a way yet, but I also have not really been working on it. I'll check in to it!
Hey Dana, I was wondering if you have yet figured out how to change the theme of the Rumor Touch for Virgin Mobile. I have this exact phoe, and i would look so much nicer if we were ale to chng the interface of the phone... Don't you think? Please get back to me. Tati893@hotmail.com. Thanks!
